Mean percentages and standard deviation (SD) of the minimum wall thickness measurements at 3, 5 and 7 mm from the root apex
Group I | Group II | |||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Initial (mm) | Reciproc/Mtwo (mm) | SAF (mm) | Initial (mm) | Reciproc/Mtwo (mm) | H file (mm) | |
3 mm | 0.97±0.38aA | 0.89±0.35bA | 0.81±0.33cA | 0.93±0.39aA | 0.83±0.34bA | 0.74±0.30cA |
5 mm | 1.05±0.45aA | 0.96±0.47bA | 0.89±0.44cA | 0.96±372.9aA | 0.85±0.37bA | 0.78±0.37cA |
7 mm | 1.25±0.57aA | 1.11±0.55bA | 1.01±0.50cA | 1.23±0.45aA | 1.07±0.46bA | 0.898±0.42cA |
Different lowercase letters represent significant differences in the intragroup comparison: Initial vs Reciproc/Mtwo vs SAF (Group I) and Initial vs Reciproc/Mtwo vs H file, while different uppercase letters were used for the intergroup comparisons: Initial between gorup I and II, Reciproc/Mtwo between gorup I and II and SAF vs H file comparisons (P<0.05).
